Nancy Meyers' films have an aspirational, coastal aesthetic that many people love.
She's been making movies for decades, but social media is now embracing the "costal grandmother" look.
We found 10 pieces of decor that look like they came right off the set of one of her films.
You may have heard that TikTok and Instagram influencers and celebrities are embracing the "Coastal Grandmother" trend, often name-checking filmmaker Nancy Meyers as a source of inspiration.
In the films, bookcases are filled with books and surfaces stuffed with vases, candles, and other decor. The couches have lots of pillows and look cozy and inviting rather than rigid. Despite the intimidatingly neat kitchens, the homes at least feel lived in (albeit by very wealthy people).
Because the style is big on pillows, throws, and flowers, it's easy to copy the vibe without redoing a whole room.
Here are 10 pieces of decor inspired by Nancy Meyers' movies:
Flowers (from an admirer or that you bought yourself)
You should always have 10 to 12 fresh bouquets of flowers on hand, per every Nancy Meyers film. No one said they had to be fresh. We love the dried arrangements from East Olivia.
Whether stuffed with flowers or sitting empty looking like they're expecting flowers, vases are an easy way to incorporate the Meyers aesthetic into your home. West Elm's ceramic vases come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors.
Pretty jars for your tables, mantles, bookshelves, and so on
Ginger jars are decorative objects all on their own, but they can double as a vase in a pinch. You're going to need somewhere to put all those flowers.
Much of the furniture in Nancy Meyers' films are neutral, so the rugs are an opportunity for color and pattern. The blue-striped one in "Something's Gotta Give" caught our eye, and this indoor-outdoor option from Rugs USA is a close approximation.
Is it even worth sitting on a couch if it only has one or two pillows? Get yourself a pillow for every member of your book club. The floral designs on the Becca pillow from Ballard Designs are subtle and pretty.
Yes, blankets are a classic staple, but Garnet Hill's wool-and-cashmere throw is also soft and perfect for snuggling up to watch "The Holiday" for the umpteenth time.
You're going to need somewhere to stash those throw pillows and blankets should you need to play host to your child's significant other. The Big Sur seagrass baskets from Serena and Lily come in three sizes.
Count the lamps in Meryl Streep's character's home in "It's Complicated," and you'll realize how important good lighting is. The shapes are often rounded, like this double-gourd lamp from Ballard Designs.
A tray to hold smaller ornamental items is key, or these two mango-wood containers from Grandin Road can serve as the perfect home for piles of fruit — a staple of Meyers' movie kitchens.
You never know when an attractive neighbor will drop by with a bottle of wine. Make any meal a little more special by adding candles stored in these glass hurricane holders from Williams Sonoma.
